Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
Get rid of two different types of fill value struct (merge H5O_fill_t
and H5O_fill_new_t) and clean up & simplify dataset initialization code.

Fix problem with copying objects when the dataset to copy has an "older"
version of the layout message and needs to compute the size of the dataset's
storage after the dataspace information is available.
Minor random cleanups also...

Refactor generic property list initialization code to put property list
specific routines in property list modules, instead of scattered to the four
winds. Also, introduce property list class initialization objects, to make
adding new property list classes in the library easier.
Fix daily test failure by using H5Pget_elink_prefix() API routine instead
of looking at the "raw" generic property list information.

1. Provide another option for users to do independent IO with MPI file setview(collectively)
2. With the request of collective IO from users, using Independent IO with MPI file setview if we find collective IO is not good for the applications for IO per chunk(multi-chunk IO) case. Previously we used pure independent IO and that actually performed small IO(IO each row) for this case. The recent performance study suggested the independent IO with file setview can acheieve significantly better performance than collective IO when not many processes participate in the IO.
3. For applications that explicitly choose to do collective IO per chunk case, the library won't do any optimization(gather/broadcast) operations. The library simply passes the collective IO request to MPI-IO.
Tested at copper, kagiso, heping, mir and tungsten(cmpi and mpich)
Kagiso is using LAM, t_mpi test was broken even.
The cchunk10 test failed at heping and mir. I suspected it was an MPICH problem. Will investigate later.
Everything passed at copper.
at tungsten: the old cmpi bug(failed at esetw) is still there. Other tests passed.
Some sequential fheap tests failed at kagiso.

Enhanced collective chunk IO supports
Description:
1. When using collective IO with chunking storage without any tuning, performance may become worse under some circumstances.
2. Current HDF5 handles raw-data IO per chunk. So for many small chunks, many small IOs will be passed into MPI-IO. That may cause bad performance.
3. For one IO per chunk case, sometimes performance with collective is worse than performance with independent. An obvious case is when only one process is doing IO and all other process are not doing IO, the collective IO will only add overheads for communication. We want to avoid this case. Some management inside our library needs to be done.
Solution:
- Added managements of collective IO supports for chunking storage
inside parallel HDF5
1) Implemented One IO with collective mode for all chunks in the
application by building one MPI derived datatype accross all
chunks.
2) Implemented the decision-making support to do collective IO inside
MPI-IO per chunk.
3) Added the decision-making support to do one IO accross all chunks
or to do multiple IOs with each IO per chunk.
4) Added the support to handle the case some processes won't do any IOs in
collectively.
5) Some MPI-IO package(mpich 1.2.6 or lower, e.g.) cannot handle
collective IO correctly for the case when some processes have no
contributions to IOs, a special macro is added to change
collective IO mode to independent IO mode inside HDF5 library.

be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
New feature
Description:
Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API
routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable-
length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested
on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working
correctly.
I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to
keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them
before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-)

bug fix for collective chunk IO, phase 1
Optimization hasn't been done yet, the collective chunk IO bug should be fixed.
Description:
In chunking storage, memory space and file space will be remapped, So to check
whether file space and memory space are regular in order to use optimized MPI derived
datatype for collective call one has to check per-chunk wise instead of per hyperslab wise.
Even a regular memory space will be stored in span-tree and will be irregular before chunk IO.
Solution:
1. Check file space and memory space per chunk wise instead of per hyperslab wise.
2. For collective IO mode, number of chunks covered by hyperslab may be different. Since we are
handing per chunk per IO, for the extra chunk IO for some(not all) processors, collective mode will
cause program hanged. So for the extra chunk Io mode independent IO has to be used.
3. On some platforms, Complex MPI derived datatype is not working, so we have to use independent IO for collective IO mode if the selection is irregular. However, when the selection is regular, we do want to use collective IO since that will improve performance. Special cares have to be added for this case.

Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

Purpose:
Feature
Description:
Datatypes and groups now use H5FO "file object" code that was previously
only used by datasets. These objects will hold a file open if the file
is closed but they have not yet been closed. If these objects are unlinked
then relinked, they will not be destroyed. If they are opened twice (even
by two different names), both IDs will "see" changes made to the object
using the other ID.
When an object is opened using two different names (e.g., if a dataset was
opened under one name, then mounted and opened under its new name), calling
H5Iget_name() on a given hid_t will return the name used to open that hid_t,
not the current name of the object (this is a feature, and a change from the
previous behavior of datasets).
Solution:
Used H5FO code that was already in place for datasets. Broke H5D_t's, H5T_t's,
and H5G_t's into a "shared" struct and a private struct. The shared structs
(H5D_shared_t, etc.) hold the object's information and are used by all IDs
that point to a given object in the file. The private structs are pointed
to by the hid_t and contain the object's group entry information (including its
name) and a pointer to the shared struct for that object.
This changed the naming of structs throughout the library (e.g., datatype->size
is now datatype->shared->size). I added an updated H5Tinit.c to windows.zip.

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
1 - Dataset contiguous storage cache information had a bug where it was
possible to try to access invalid cache information if the cache wasn't filled
the first time it attempted to loop through the list of offset/length vectors.
2 - Additionally, the contiguous storage cache information was being used
in certain circumstances from the chunked dataset I/O code path, which was
generally fatal since the chunk storage and contiguous storage information
were stored together in a union.
Solution:
1 - Avoid special case of first trip through loop over offset/length
I/O vectors and always check for the contiguous storage sieve buffer buffer
being NULL.
2 - Change the union containing the chunk and contiguous storage cache
information into a struct, allowing both to be used at the same time.

Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up collective chunking code a bit.
Also, add '--enable-instrument' configure flag to have a mechanism for
determining that optimized operations happened correctly in the library (instead
of just the "normal" way) by allowing 'flag' properties to be set outside the
library and set when the "right" thing happens. This is mainly for debugging
and regression checks, so we make certain we don't break optimized I/O by
accident. It's enabled by default when --enable-debug is on (which is on by
default in the development branch and off by default in the release branch),
but can also be independently controlled with its own configure flag.

Purpose:
HDF5 now supports SZIP with no encoder.
Description:
SZIP can be configured to have both encoder and decoder or just to have the decoder. HDF5 can now query the configuration of any filter, and will throw errors if users try to write using a filter with encoding disabled.

Added H5Zget_filter_info function, changed API for H5Pget_filter and H5P_get_filter_by_id. See SZIP RFC.

Misc. update:
Refactor code
Description:
Move chunk and contiguous cached raw data from file information to dataset
information. This simplifies a number of internal interfaces, aligns the

Code optimization & bug fix
Description:
When dimension information is being stored in the storage layout message
on disk, it is stored as 32-bit quantities, possibly truncating the dimension
information, if a dimension is greater than 32-bits in size.
Solution:
Fix the storage layout message problem by revising file format to not store
dimension information, since it is already available in the dataspace.
Also revise the storage layout data structures to be more compartmentalized
for the information for contiguous, chunked and compact storage.

New feature/enhancement
Description:
Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving
certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or
chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times.
Solution:
Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much
more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk
in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time.
There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to
create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the
chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c
tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will
allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the
remaining issues.
